Introducing My Own CEO Squad

Jennifer McGurk
About this episode

Join Jennifer & her CEO Squad for an honest & authentic conversation as they wrap up their mastermind week in Lake Michigan. They each reflect on what they learned & share key takeaways to help inspire you as the CEO of your business.

Join the conversation as they discuss:

  1. Reflecting Before Deciding: CEOs should reflect on their business before important meetings. This practice offers valuable insights, helps in making clear decisions, enhances marketing efforts, and fosters a stronger connection to the brand's messaging.
  2. Reclaiming Sales Voice: Return to the core voice of the business and work diligently to serve each customer. Step back and learn from experiences..
  3. Taking Time and Space: CEOs should allocate time and space to step away from the daily tasks of the business. This enables them to work on the business itself, gain perspective, and focus on strategic thinking.
  4. Trusting Your Gut: Trusting intuition is key. If something feels off, it's essential to address it promptly.
  5. Peer Interactions: Engaging with peers from diverse industries is incredibly valuable. It provides opportunities to receive feedback, gain fresh perspectives, and builds trust.
  6. Honest Feedback and Humility: Be open to honest feedback and maintain humility. Recognize that boundaries can evolve, affecting your offerings and operations.
  7. Increased Productivity: After coaching sessions, CEOs can become significantly more productive, with clarity often leading to action.
  8. Embracing Failure: It's okay to 'fail'; it's how we learn and grow. Balancing growth involves both successes and failures.

The key to being a successful CEO involves resourcefulness, self-reflection, trusting one's instincts, seeking peer feedback, embracing change, and learning from both successes and 'failures'.

Cheers to you, the CEO!
